Backhoe Hydraulic hose split on B2320

ror105 · May 23, 2020

Hi Fellas,

Haven't been on here in a while because the Kubota just keeps on running. Going on 9 years old with almost 500 hours and by far the best purchase I have ever made.

With all of that said, I was cutting the grass the other day, pulled up on the deck raise lever and got sprayed all over my back with hydraulic fluid (pretty sure this happened due to 'dead heading' the pump when the deck is at the top of it's travel and the engine is at high RPM. The leak is coming from the hose on the rear of the tractor that gets unplugged from the top rear of the tractor and plugged into the bottom of the BH65 backhoe. I tried to locate the proper term for this hose and can not distinguish it from 'power beyond' or 'rear remote' or maybe it is neither but I can't locate this particular hose on any parts website etc.

Can anyone tell me what the part number or name of this particular hose is so I can locate a new one? Also, I assume I am draining what hydraulic fluid is left in the system to replace this due to it going into the bottom of the tractor hydraulic system.

Appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks,
Rob

Just take it off and bring the hose to a hydraulic shop or parts store and have a new one made its fast and easy......

Peter 315, back in the good old days that is what I would do. We are still on a bit of a lockdown here in Central PA and I'm a bit adverse to standing around in a store with a mask on. If it's something I can order online from Messicks, I would just as soon do that and have it on hand when I pull the old one. Not sure if I will save hydro fluid by doing it this way or not.

Same here on lockdown I just had a hose made the other day when I got there I called them I had the hose in the back off my truck the guy come out and grabbed it it and made a new one I would just drain the oil out into a clean bucket. The hose might come with the backhoe kit if it is the power beyond hose.

Did you try to look at the Messick's parts diagrams ?? They are very good. You could probably ID the hose from a diagram if it is an original part.
